It’s publication day! @writandrhet.bsky.social and I are excited to announce that this five year labor of love (and sweat and tears) is now out in the world!! Grateful for the many institutions and colleagues who supported us. Hooray! www.routledge.com/Transdiscipl...

Transdisciplinary Approaches to Problems in Higher Education: Before the Next Crisis Comes

This book focuses on the role of transdisciplinarity in addressing crises and other complex problems inside higher education institutions. It argues for enacting transdisciplinary practices in adminis...

Minnesota is my home and my heart, and I love my people. There are many ways to support them right now, but here is one I hope you will consider. My SIL Sara is an early childhood admin in Robbinsdale, and helped organize this support for her families. givebutter.com/rdaleearlyle...

Also relevant for specific populations: there are lactation rooms at the conference center and on-site childcare (at additional cost, must be reserved ahead of time). I will ooh and aah over your babies!

Absolutely fantastic keynote from @sarosecav.bsky.social this morning at our sixth annual Pima Online Educators Conference. Thank you for helping us find the joy!!!

WE DID IT! Look for this, coming soon!!!!!

The final manuscript of our book has been submitted to Routledge with the best co-author ever @drtink.bsky.social! Whoot!!!!!!!!!!!

So proud of this incredible person! (And so excited to taste all the homework!) Watch out for Chef Schnieder, PhD!

Where it started and where it's going. I'm keeping my doctoral robes but adding my chef's coat.

My aunt sent this to me, apparently from an old coloring book she had that I used when I was nine. Look at that last line. I’ve been educationally ungovernable since 1982.

Just a heads up: Was in Tucson Immigration court. My clients had followed the proper procedures to enter the U.S. when they arrived and requested asylum. ICE attorney attempted to get my client's asylum claims terminated, like we saw in multiple immigration courts around the country last week. 1/4

Grateful to share that @writandrhet.bsky.social and I will be leading a session titled “Transdiscipinarity as a Means of Creating Sustainable Resistance in Higher Ed” on June 25 at 2:30 EDT / 11:30 PDT at this amazing, FREE conference. Sign up today! bit.ly/VirtualGathe...

This is eye-opening and absolutely horrifying. We can choose differently, though. We really, really can. This future is not inevitable. www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/20/1...

We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.

The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.

The best teaching change I’ve made recently is ending the semester with time for gratitude. I share what I am grateful for from our time & they share what they appreciate about each other as colleagues in the course. It’s joy. I will never go back to exams or turning in papers as a last class again.

If I hear one more higher ed “innovator” (who is clearly not from a farming background) use the word “incubator,” I am going to 1) scream and 2) send them hundreds of pictures of what poultry incubators look like during hatching. Trust me, this is not the vibe you want. Thank you for your attention.

Community and Technical College Educational Developers: I’m honored to serve, alongside Stephanie Whalen of Harper College, as an incoming co-chair for the new Community and Technical College Special Interest Group for The POD Network. 1/3

The full quote from RFK, Jr. is truly disgusting and this is 100% him calling for institutionalization of autistic people. This is horrifying.

Gravel Influencer@gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · last yr.

By the way, *this* is eugenicism. RFK, Jr. sitting there and thinking that he can determine what makes someone's life worthwhile.

It was Esther day in my virtual Intro to OT class. I love that day, because I wear my tiara and (usually) students make tons of noise. Sadly, I learned this year that Zoom cancels the sound of all but the most robust noisemakers, so one busy student had to blot out the name of Haman for us all :-)

There is no ethical use of GenAI tools. They are extractive—of the environment, of human labor, of the friction that characterizes human learning. AI takes—it does not give. It’s based on a compromised ethical framework. It’s no surprise it’s being used by those who are dismantling our government.

Huge congrats to @writandrhet.bsky.social , winner of Pima College’s Excellence in Teaching and Learning Award! I can’t think of anyone more deserving. You really are the best teacher I know.

Investing in students isn't buying expensive third party AI add-ons for the LMS. It's hiring more faculty and staff so we can lower class sizes and devote more individual time to our students. College is education and WE are the educators.

After #POD24, I'm really curious about this: to those who are active users of AI and, particularly, those who are promoting AI in the classroom, how are you accounting for the environmental impact of AI? Shouldn't we address the harms before we widely embrace this in education?

Is there a starter pack of Higher Ed Teaching and Learning Centers out there, by chance? My TLC, @pimatlc.bsky.social , is just getting started over here and looking for accounts to follow. #POD24 #edusky

My favorite CTL work is the internal mission, vision, & values work. Without it we do not know who we are, we risk becoming irrelevant or over-committed, & we can’t show our value or celebrate our success. Grateful that the TLC team at Pima gets this & are willing to put in the work to realize it. ❤️

Finally got to meet @effinbirds.com ! #SDCC

Excited to share that I have accepted the role of Executive Director for the Teaching & Learning Center at Pima CC! It’s just the most incredible, humbling opportunity. I am so grateful to @writandrhet.bsky.social, our daughters, families, and friends for their support across these 8 long months. ❤️

Happy birthday to my incredible partner and best friend. You are the love of my life, and I hope this next trip around the sun is everything you need and want and more. I love you @writandrhet.bsky.social

If you are a university administrator that ever feels the need to send in police to arrest groups of your students for demonstrating, then you are completely unqualified to lead a campus.
